Big thanks to Jason over at Ewheels for sending the Leaperkim Lynx over, while I didn’t receive what Leaperkim had in mind when they made this wheel, I was able to extract the gist of it- it’s an awesome wheel.
Certainty not the wheel for me, but I hope you find my thoughts useful in your decision-making and considerations of the wheel.
I put for my most sincere effort to date to making the most concise but informative review so far, I really like the microphone quality. Please let me know what you think.
If you’re not buying the wheel and stopping by for the footage, I hope you enjoy what I was able to get -
Thanks so much for your support as always, your friend Johnny .
The charge enhancer that I spoke about is coming soon -

It is disappointing that you are not disclosing all the information that you are finding with the Lynx. It makes you seem disingenuous. As a reviewer you should share every finding with the wheel good and bad regardless of what kind of feedback or backlash you may receive. Don’t hold anything back. Put it all on the table and be brutally honest.

Really enjoying your take on the new wheels available and am thoroughly impressed with your skills on an EUC! I have a batch 2 Lynx and can't pull off nearly what you can on it. I'm learning more every day and appreciating it more and more as well. I'm also looking forward to the Begode Falcon. It would be really interesting to get your take on that wheel as well when it comes out. Thanks for the great videos and I'll look forward to watching your future releases:).

Yo Johnny, great video. Your video content is most enjoyable!! You have a natural ability to talk literally, well spoken, easy listening.. I know you are a well established rider, so when I've overdosed on RU-vid (EUC), listening to your content is very easy.. 👍👍🤛👌 Keep up the good work ,Lynx, and hopefully be my next wheel. Adventure arriving soon!!!!!!😊

I am assuming it's like getting a car from a rental company after it's been in service for a few months. who knows how it was driven. the review just wouldn't be about a new the new car, but a used/abused car.

After 600 miles I had my first violent speed wobble. Tire pressure was set at 26 psi. Look at the video that Chooch just posted where he crashed on a speed wobble. Mine did the same thing and it came on hard and fast. Still not blaming it on the wheel however. I like my tire pressure on the Kenda all the way down at 20 psi.

@johnnygovroom 2 месяца назад

a wheel that required shims from the factory in order to correct a motor alignment issue, may be prone to wobbles as such... yes

Agree, I had to remove toe block and ditched the stock pads for my Clark Titans I luv, alsoI removed the kickstand because I kept hitting my shins and tripping over it. Wonder what u mean by it not being what Leaperkim intended, like what’s it doing that makes u think that, suspension, speed, torque and why not just put it out? Ride safe.

@Trener_Artem 3 месяца назад

Thank you! How it is compared to Master V4? Perfomance wise

@johnnygovroom 3 месяца назад

more planted at speed- the weight and suspension do this- In a group ride the master will not last as long at speed. - Master4 feels lighter and easier to corner.

@keptick 3 месяца назад

Interesting considering the master v4 is heavier! Might have something to do with the pedal height and weight distribution?

Until I saw what it did to the patton, i wasn't really sure it was bad- but having been through 3 boards and counting, vibration knocking loose parts of the motherboard... Its dangerous, anyone with this wheels should find a way to use rubber spacers, or get an aftermarket armor kit with softer tpu style for impact protections.

If you only could afford one what would you take the V14 or the Lynx?

For pure fun of riding , the v14 is my favorite wheel right now. If a longer commute was a consideration then we would consider the Lynx.

@segment932 3 месяца назад

@@johnnygovroom Yea. That is my exact taking on the difference. I primary want a wheel to have fun on, but also fits in to my commute. Thus I stick with my order for the v14. Its more then enough capable for that plus it got its IP rating for bad whether.

There is no world in which you get 100 miles at 40mph lol. You'd be lucky to do 50, I bet closer to 40. Simple physics, wind resistance is high at 40mph and the batteries aren't that big. You'll get a little more range than a Master because... it has a little more battery than a Master :)

@deadbluesky 2 месяца назад

You don't get what Leaperkim had in mind ?? Simple they wanted to give us an all-around and powerful quality wheel lighter than the Sherman S and same weight than the 16 inches Patton by using magnesium allow which is lighter and stronger than aluminum, also the best suspension ever made on EUC until now... Get the Grizzla toes lock they are larger and smoother than the original it feel a way better and you won't stay lock unless you squeeze it to your feet's. The only thing i don't like about this wheel is the pedal, they are slippery if your foot are wet... Cast studs sucks, NyloNove got the best and lighter removable studs pedal on the market but they are damn expensive.

@johnnygovroom 2 месяца назад

I get it. Just don’t like it , and it’s over priced for what it is. Never sent a wheel back so fast. It didn’t inspire me to want to explore it , I wanted to get it (the review) over with.

@HumbolSkitso 3 месяца назад

Ok so there is a defect but it must be a small one? Im guessing it has to do with the ability to tune the plushness of the suspension, because everything else seemed fine from what we're shown here lol. Or maybe he got the sticky button like another youtuber had, they just sent him a new updated cover and it was fine. Either way great video but you're teasing me now man lol how you gonna have a fire ass beat like that, and not add the bars lol next video will have the beat and the bars 👍?

@Euckiministeri 3 месяца назад

Yeah Leaperkim headlights are bright but that doesn't mean it's good. All these ShermanS, Patton and Lynx has shitty lights that blind all oncoming traffic and loses lots of light on the sides since these lights are "working lights" and not made to be used in traffic. Even some 20 dollar bicycling lights are better than these lights that well any EUC manufacturer uses.
